Problem with importing, panel data
Posted: Sun Jun 20, 2010 9:09 am
Hi, I have a problem, stupid one
I want to have a panel data workfile page with all countries together and another one with each variable for each country.
I am first just importing this file (i made it smaller bcs it was too big) and it already does not read the time and the country . Cannot understand why. It reads the rest
Then with this command (pagestack argentina australia brazil canada chile china euro_area germany india indonesia japan korea new_zealand russia south_africa saudi_arabia turkey uk usa @ XRvsD CPI IR IP M1 XRvsE URATE) i stack the data in new page. And that works fine
Then I want to have the data unstacked in another page and i use this command : pageunstack(namepat="?_*") id01 id02 @ XRvsD CPI IR IP M1 XRvsE URATE
But what happens is only that i have each variable only for one country and there is a pool with the country identifiers. (which is not what i want)
I tried to do it also by creating balanced panel, but bcs it does not read the country or the time, i cannot do it this way.
